About Rene

Rene Jourdan is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Idaho with 11 years of clinical experience. She works primarily with adults and with family-related concerns, helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, anger, parenting strain, and other life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma, self-esteem struggles, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, and bipolar mood concerns.

Rene uses an integrated, person-centered approach in sessions. She draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas and motivational interviewing alongside reality-focused and solution-oriented techniques. Sessions are practical and goal-directed, with attention to immediate problems and usable skills for everyday life.

She has substantial experience in crisis work and addiction treatment. For over five years she helped provide crisis services for callers across North Idaho. She has managed and supervised programs for family and peer support and for substance use treatment, and currently works as a program manager in a substance use disorder program.

Rene runs both group and individual work in addiction and mental health settings. She has led coping skills groups, basic mental health processing groups, and facilitated the Matrix Model of addiction. Those options can be useful for people who want shared learning alongside individual sessions.

In practical terms she asks people to set clear goals and to build concrete coping tools. Her style blends listening with active skill teaching so people can better handle anger, workplace stress, and relationship conflict. International clients may be accepted and sessions are offered in English.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult feelings appear. It is useful for people wrestling with anger, avoidance, or low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and anger-related reactions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Rene will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. She combines listening with active skill-building, and adjusts the plan as needs shift over time.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some formats require less bandwidth or camera use, which can help when someone needs a simpler session. Discuss practical preferences and scheduling needs in the initial matching questionnaire so sessions can be arranged to fit everyday life.
